On Tuesday, April 23 between 7:30 and 9 a.m., Vestavia Hills residents will have the opportunity to enjoy breakfast in the company of Sgt. Noah Galloway (retired), who will serve as the keynote speaker.

He remained unconscious for days, only to awake on Christmas Eve to discover the extent of his injuries.

According to a media release about the prayer breakfast, Galloway's physical, mental and emotional recovery since his injury has been “nothing short of amazing.”

Following his recovery, Galloway has been successful in various feats of strength and endurance—participating in three Tough Mudder competitions—nicknamed “probably the toughest event on the planet.” According to the event’s website, Tough Mudder events are comprised of 10-12 mile obstacle courses designed by British Special Forces. To date, the event has helped raise more than $5 million for the Wounded Warrior Project.

But Galloway didn’t stop there.

He has also participated in the Bataan Memorial Death March, described as “a challenging march through the high desert terrain of White Sands Missile Range, conducted in honor of the heroic service members who defended the Philippine Islands during World War II,” as a member of TEAM X-T.R.E.M.E.

As the release states, Galloway has “an incredibly inspiring message to share.”
